The Problem with Twins!

Yesterday, I stood up from my desk for a stretch, and saw my Mini idling at the stop sign, on the side street along our shop. I started sprinting towards the front door, ready to drag someone out through the drivers window.

This is when I noticed it had a sunroof... Gromit doesn't have a sunroof. As I got closer to the door (and my co-workers wondering "WTF?"), I could see Gromit still parked at the curb, just behind the other Mini.

To quote the Genii in "Aladdin," "Boy, do I feel sheepish!"

You should've run outside waving wildly, then walked back in with a huge grin on your face and your clothing slightly askew, looking at a business card. If anyone comments or looks at you strangely, just say "What?! Get back to work!"

Why ration passion?

Well you do work in Stockton and as someone who has lived in Stockton, I would have done the samething. Atleast you don't work on charter way, then it would more than likely happen.

I always figure if I was north of 4 and west of West LN. I was good to go. I'm glad no one tried stealing your car that would've made for a bad month.

Fortunately, it's a well lit and traveled area, and next to a parts store and repair shop. Lots of prople coming and going.

Luckily, the closest thing Malibu Stacy has to a twin is in Canada.
